ORBI not connected
Hello, I moved my orbi satellite to a new location. I plugged it in and it blinked white for a minute then stopped. The blue light came on should for a minute and went out. I logged into my Orbi app...
- Okay,
That makes sense the satellite is connected to the other satellite.
Thank you
Yes. This is a "Daisy Chain" where one satellite connects to the router and the other satellite connects to the first satellite. In the smartphone app, the color Green stands for "Good" and the (what IS that color, orange?) stands for "Poor". It could be that the two satellites are too far apart or that something between them is affecting the connection.
If "things are working OK", you may want to just live with this. (like, when a cell phone has only two bars, but phone calls are OK, "who cares?")
If things are NOT working the way you want, the first step is probably to move the 2nd satellite closer to the first one or change the "orientation." i.e. raise or lower it. Turn it sideways.
Okay,
That makes sense the satellite is connected to the other satellite.

- If you think that Satellite 1 is closer to the Router than to Satellite 2 then please try to disable Daisy Chain in the advanced wireless settings and see if will get better link status when Satellite 1 is connected directly to the Router.
